The German automaker Volkswagen launched their Tiguan SUV in India. This is the second SUV from Volkswagen after the Touareg in India. The car is priced at INR 27.98 lakh to INR 31.38 lakh (ex-showroom price, Delhi) bracket.

The Tiguan gets the signature Volkswagen family look with clean lines. The front gets an unmistakably Volkswagen face with the signature Volkswagen family style grille with headlamps with LED DRLs. At the rear, the Tiguan gets the LED boomerang-shaped rear lamps. The car reminds the Audi Q5 from certain angles. Unlike other SUVs, the Tiguan is sans any ‘loud’ elements.

The Tiguan is powered by a 2.0-liter diesel motor which is paired with a seven-speed DSG gearbox. The engine generates a peak power of 143hp and a max torque of 340Nm. The car will be available in two trims: Comfortline and Highline.

The car is priced bang in the Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner territory. The Tiguan in India is a 5-seat variant.

Volkswagen has positioned the Tiguan to compete against the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Endeavour. However, Tiguan lacks the aggression, size, and boldness compared to the competition. However, Tiguan’s clean lines, fuel efficiency, and the super quick DSG box will definitely find some fan following in India.
